Jaime Lozano is clear about it. The strategist of the Mexican National Team will bet on a very ‘European’ lineup to test his project this Thursday against the representative of Panama after defining the ’11’ with which he will face the semifinals of the Concacaf Nations League. He will do it with seven players who are active in the Old Continent, while the rest are elements of Liga MX
The helmsman does not want to experiment in the duel against the Panamanians that will be held at the AT&T Stadium, since a setback could deprive the team of qualifying for the Final of the tournament to fight for the title, which has been denied to them since the creation of the competition in 2019.
What will be Mexico’s lineup against Panama?
Lozano will bet on the experience of Guillermo Ochoa (Salernitana) to defend the goal against the Panamanians; while the defensive line will be made up of Julián Araujo (Las Palmas), César Montes (Almería), Johan Vásquez (Genoa) and Jesús Gallardo (Rayados).
In the midfield El Tri will come out with three players, where the West Ham player, Edson Álvarez, will be in charge of providing balance in the center of the field, while on the sides he will be accompanied by Luis Chávez (Dynamo Moscow) and Erick Sánchez (Pachuca).
In the attacking axis, Jimmy Lozano will bet on Henry Martín (América) as a center forward, although on the wings he will be supported by the imbalance of Uriel Antuna (Cruz Azul) and Hirving “Chucky” Lozano (PSV).
With this alignment, the Mexican strategist will seek a place in the Nations League Final in order to continue gaining credibility in his project, which has the objective of transcending the 2026 World Cup where Mexico will host the tournament next to United States and Canada.
Lozano’s chosen ones for the Semifinal:
- Goalkeeper: Ochoa
- Defense: Araujo, Montes, Vásquez and Gallardo.
- Medium: Chávez, Álvarez and Sánchez.
- Forward: Antuna, Martín and Lozano.
